The problem: Over- and under-fertilisation on the headland

Different fertilisers have different switch-on and switch-off points. In practice, the switch-off points are usually only achieved when the tractor is turning on the headland. The arc of spread behind the tractor and round to the side creates areas that are either over- or under-fertilised.

Switch-off time on the headland: Without HeadlandControl

• Spreader switches off too late and is already turning 
• Tractor would have to drive beyond the headland tramline

Result: Over- and under-fertilised zones are created

1. Over-fertilisation (dark-green)
2. Under-fertilisation (white)
3. Standard headland
4. Inner throwing distance without HeadlandControl
